In a normal year right about now i would be really active in looking for good hiking partners to venture off a popular local trail to my secret canyon in the mountains just outside Los Angeles.  Instead I am holed up in a farming village in the Japanese countryside with little contact of any kind with other people.  All these shoots I did last spring and summer are really making me homesick now, so I hope you don't mind indulging me as i share some more of them...

I love shooting with Ariel Fahey - she has such a jubilant, emotive face, not to mention pert, shapely boobs! She is a joy to watch from behind the lens.  On top of that she is just a FUN person to be around - a curious mind that loves to learn (and open to teaching as well), a quick wit, and the right dose of humbleness.  She is always up for adventure, so I knew she would really appreciate the secret canyon. Thus this particular hike was so much fun, and we really got to bond as proper friends (this was only the second time I had met Ariel). The day was also really productive - I ended up with too many photos in too many locations that I really liked, so I will probably continue posting images and videos from this hike into next month as well...
